Might be the stupidest and most "well duh" thing to say but as a Canadian, it's hard to convey my mindset shift after Venezuela
Everything I thought Trump wouldn't be stupid or brazen enough to do now feels like it's actually a far more realistic possibility than I was previously willing to accept

Book (first of three) by the woman who spearheaded the #OpDeathEaters campaign. Good read.
Amplifying Marsh matters because she offers a way to confront institutional failure without giving up human agency or democracy. Where Yarvin’s plan regresses to feudal societies, Marsh offers a hopeful and attainable future. That’s why, whenever they say Yarvin, we say Marsh. #3E

When the Globe and Mail editorial board is warning that the Venezuela invasion represents a threat to Canada you know how serious the menace is from the gangster fascist regime.

Corsi-Rosenthal boxes are so cool
Building inexpensive indoor air filters with Mar Vista High School students in Imperial Beach...filter efficiency is higher than ones that cost $800+. You spend 90% of your time indoors...we all deserve clean air!! @scrippsocean.bsky.social @ucsandiego.bsky.social Airborne Institute.

There’s an AI-powered conspiracy machine selling ‘Truthwear’ merch to Canadians, and my friends at the National Observer unmasked the person profiting from this account.

"In addition to advocating “an extremely modest wealth tax” on those who make more than $10 million annually and reversing the gov's abandonment of capital gains taxes increases, the millionaires asked Champagne “to crack down on the abuse of tax havens.”"

I think we dramatically overstate the effectiveness of mass-influence operations (foreign, domestic, legal, and illegal) and neglect various kind of elite influence operations, essentially to the point of extinction.
Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Money Doesn't Buy Elections. It Does Something Worse.
Campaign ads barely move the needle. The real influence is hiding in plain sight.

Their meat is priced _per package_ now, not per kilogram.
The photo above shows a 649 g tray (left) and a 733 g tray (right), both for $15.
So, if you're not careful, you're paying over 10% extra for chicken thighs!
This packaging change is hiding price inflation & gouging.

If you can, make sure you have enough food for at least a week along with bottled water or some type of clean water supply.

I wondered the same thing. But with #ElonMusk one must always consider that the most nefarious ulterior motive is the correct one. Whatever that may be.
In 🇨🇦, there is an endless barrage of malign foreign influence ops. Sadly, 🇺🇸 is now on par with 🇷🇺 in that regard. #cdnpoli #ableg

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.
What's the deal with indoor air quality?
From CO2 monitors to better building codes, Dr. Georgia Lagoudas outlines how to clean up the spaces where we spend 90% of our lives.
